Hush, hush, holiday rush! All I want for Christmas is good old-fashioned mush.
As we all unwrap our gifts, may we be wrapped up in the joy that only the birth of Jesus can bring. That’s a Christ-must!
Celebrities have everything money can buy. But the best things in life aren’t things. If I had the power to give some of my celebrity friends Christmas gifts that can’t be bought, here’s how my list would go:
KORINA SANCHEZ: Anti-intrigues vaccine so that she and Mar may love happily ever after.
BOY ABUNDA: A clone, because the industry needs more genuinely kind people like Tito Boy.
AGA MUHLACH: Our idol Michael Jackson back to life.
CESAR MONTANO: A “Greatest Friend” monument.
BONG REVILLA and LANI MERCADO: State of total bliss as they recover from a family tragedy (Ramgen’s murder).
CES DRILON: More hours in a day so the superwoman in her can accomplish everything she puts her heart into.
AMALIA FUENTES: A man to make her blush like a teenager all over again. She has so much love to give.
LORNA TOLENTINO: A new love she can grow glamorously old with.
POPS FERNANDEZ: A baby girl, if and when the right time and the right man comes.
MARTIN NIEVERA: A new talk show to showcase his gift of gab once again. I miss his “Mad” days.
ALBERT and LIEZL MARTINEZ: A permanent cure for the Big C so they can spend endless happy years together.
OGIE ALCASID: The joys of parenthood for him and Regine.
DINGDONG DANTES: Marriage for him and Marian and little Marians and Dongs soon enough.
RUFFA GUTIERREZ: A man who is strong enough to protect her, yet gentle enough to baby her.
VICKI BELO: A lifetime guarantee of Hayden Kho’s love and devotion.
GLORIA DIAZ: A book on style, poise and grace which she will write so more Pinays can be like her.
LEO VALDEZ: A dispensing machine of his joie de vivre so it would be easily available to people who need some cheering up.
ANGEL AQUINO: A love that knows no end and knows no other.
PINKY AMADOR: Her passion for her craft to rub off on other artists. Mediocrity is not in her vocabulary.
BO CERRUDO: More shows here and abroad so his genuine talent will not stay underutilized.
CHRISTINE and JULIUS BABAO: Time frozen in their favorite place abroad as they pursue their love for travel together.
MR. FU: His sense of humor in a bottle so it could be preserved for eternity.
MO TWISTER: Anonymity so he can sort out his life sans public scrutiny.
JOHN ESTRADA and PRISCILLA MEIRELLES: A healthy baby and many more beautiful babies to come.
MED MARFIL: A record label that will maximize the immense talent of his band, True Faith.
LUKE MEJARES: All his dreams fulfilled for his kids Akeesha and Jamal.
BENJIE PARAS: A basketball school so he can pass on his legendary hardcourt skills.
